As the coronavirus pandemic continues to cripple the economy and incite fear across the globe, some people aren’t really concerned — and Waka Flocka Flame is one of them.
During an interview with Real 92.3 LA, he and his wife Tammy Rivera talked about their relationship and a myriad of other topics.
Around the 11:40-minute mark, the subject of COVID-19 came up and the self-admitted “wack rapper” claimed he was essentially immune to the virus and flatly stated it wasn’t even real.
“It’s fake … Minorities can’t catch it,” he said. “Name one though. We all descended from the same persons. Now, did we catch it? It hit the people passing through our airport [Atlanta], it ain’t touch them soulful folks.”
Obviously, the notion minorities can’t catch the novel coronavirus is factually incorrect. The NBA suspended the 2020 season after Utah Jazz players Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell — both black — tested positive.
Waka Flocka Flame Says He Always Knew He Was 'A Wack Rapper'
As of Friday (March 13), the Center For Disease Control reports there are 1,629 total cases of COVID-19 and 41 deaths. The state of Georgia, in particular, has 42 cases. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, Six Flags Over Georgia and the Atlanta Motor Speedway are among the many tourist attractions that have been shut down.
SXSW, Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival and the Ultra Music Festival in Miami are just a sliver of the major music events that have been canceled or postponed because of the coronavirus. Live Nation and AEG also canceled all tours until at least April.
The man is a buffoon
He’s a fool for that, but I pray that he won’t suffer consequences from that.
Black people are immune to Corona virus? Interesting theory. I wonder if Waka Flaka will use himself as a test subject? (he won’t. Deep down he knows that’s. Retarded claim to make).
Waka is a dumb southern rapper.
To put things in perspective, he is ALSO a man who refers to himself as Waka Flocka.
He’s also probably doing better than you in life. Just saying
Having money doesn’t make you smart or competent in this world.
Ha Ha……Nothing else needs to be said…:)
Please don’t give them a reason to infect us. You know them mf will start investigating and experimenting on our blackness. Especially for children who attend public schools…mandatory creative anti-bullshit K19 shot.
First off, Karen? That’s not a black name haha. Second, experimenting with your blackness? Skin color and ethnicity have absolutely no relation to immunity to viruses or disease. Lastly, if testing were to be done on human subjects with many dangers in mind, they would find 3rd world foreign test subjects who are very ill, and having nothing to lose, everything to gain.
I mean, I can’t be too mad at Waka lol. A lot of black folks refer to themselves as gods. So with that level of confidence, comes with comments like this.
Good lord ..can someone shut this ignant fool down. The problem is there are a lot of dummies who would believe this clown.
Waka is the perfect example of the Dunning Kruger effect.
No cure for stupid.
The stars that “have it” are probably in on the fake news too. To show that anyone can get it
